Masonry Paint

[Caz]

Anybody know an easy way to remove masonry paint from plastic window frames. Don't want to scrape or use anything too abrasive if I can avoid it.

Whoever painted my house walls must have done it blindfolded, lol.

TIA

Carefully aimed power washer.

You reckon that would do it then? Got a red pressure washer thingy, if that's what you mean...will give it a go...cheers Retlaw.

damp with warm soapy water fairy liquid and sponge should do it.

Tried that, and some gentle kitchen cleaners, managed to shift a little bit, but only with a lot of scrubbing with a kitchen scourer, which I want to avoid. Don't want to make them any more susceptable(?) to dirt than they already are.

This is not new paint, been on for a few years, and supposed to be weatherproof, therefore I thought wouldn't be that easy to remove.

You could try a steamer Caz. Try using a wide scraper to protect the wall from the steam as you do it or you might bring of the paint on the wall as well.

How bad is it? A picture might be good so we can all have a chuckle and feel better about our own painting skills
